An interesting and fun tour that I recommend - This is an interesting and entertaining tour for those who want to know a bit more about crime in Adelaide and Australia. The host is really good, not just as a guide but as someone who knows about true crime and has worked in that field. Because the guide uses a small microphone, you can easily hear the commentary: we had a group of about eight people and I don't think anyone couldn't hear as we walked. As a bonus, you get a good walk through some attractive parts of Adelaide, including the riverbank. It was a fun thing to do on a Saturday evening.

Highly recommend - an awesome experience! - This was one of the best walking tours I've ever done! Highly recommend, especially if you are a fan of true crime. Our guide Nikki was very engaging and her professional experience in law enforcement added a unique element I have not come across in other true crime tours. If youre in Adelaide, do yourself a favour and give this tour a go! Thank you Nikki for a great night and the laughs!

Informative experience! - We did this walking tour with Nikki our tour guide very recently. By our luck and not so much Nikki's luck (as the business owner) we were the only 2 people on the 2 hour walking tour. The tour consists of both quite recent events and more historic events, all of which were very interesting. Be prepared to do a fair bit of walking, (at medium pace) as Nikki will take you to numerous locations around the city. Nikki herself has a very interesting background and is quite happy to share some of her experiences. We would highly recommend this walking tour to anyone who has an interest in solved and unsolved crimes of Adelaide.

Must do for True Crime buffs! - As a true crime buff this was absolutely everything I had hoped for and more. Nikki, our tour guide, had a wealth of information! Her expertise was well communicated throughout the tour, yet she was able to keep the mood light and entertaining despite some of the heavy content. Highly recommend!
